The location is very good if you need to make a stopover near the airport. The host is very gentle and always ready to help with suggestion for the food and for the transfer to the airport. The house is very clean and new. Out room was big with a big and beautiful bathroom. The common area was spacious with a big and efficient kitchen.

A very good hotel. Objectively speaking, the location is a bit not close to the center, but the owner is very friendly, and the kitchen and washing machine are provided for us three girls for free. The only thing I'm sorry about is that we had a cold at the time, which made us very uncomfortable. Might have disturbed the man, otherwise he might stay with the boss for one more day.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
